Standing Upfor Things News Today

In the village that you grew up in, you cant just watch all that and not want to do something about it. and this is me trying to do something about it. telling the world what i know, because i have several perspectives on things as a professional, and also as a local. thats just my way of coping. we wish you the best, thank you. thanks for coming on newscast and well done with everything youre doing on ukrainecast, and best wishes to you and your family. thank you. our big conversation on the po...

Self—isolation at home. hello, doctor. when i got covid this week, i hardly had a cough, i didnt have a temperature and my sense of taste and smell stayed exactly the same. so, my question is — do you think the classic symptoms are still the classic symptoms? and could that be a problem if theyre not? is covid changing? absolutely. i mean, that experience isjust what im hearing in practice. people are not losing their sense of taste, their sense of smell. people are having mild upper respira...

And we had to deal with the consequences of this unsatisfactory deal that had been put in place, so my memory of this whole period isjust 18 months of extreme tension, pressure, trying to get things done, trying to deliver on what we knew needed to be done, which was respect the opinion of the people and get brexit done. how is brexit going? i think its going well. weve created a form of brexit, hard brexit, some people say, though i dont really like the term, which gives the country complete fr...

And we may well see some more of it if we dont, you know, try and change that. not even reading between the lines, just listening to you, you sound like you think borisjohnson�*s lost his way. i dont think hes lost his way. i think the government is — has been risking drifting and not taking the difficult decisions. now, i think some of the things that have happened... risking drifting, or drifting? i think risking drifting because, in the end, we came to the right point on covid. weve got t...

If they cant afford to isolate from work. so, the policy only goes so far to change behaviour. how long, then, do you think youre going to be seeing the consequences, in their many ways, of the pandemic? turning up on your surgery, or turning up in your virtual screen when youre talking to patients, whether it be other diseases that werent diagnosed, mental health conditions as a result of the last two years? i would guess a decade, if not two. i look after refugees in my practice who are trauma...

Burden. were not thinking about whether we can hold down taxation, werejust allowing it to go up. were not thinking about how we have an energy system that keeps the lights on in the short run. and i think all of this is a habit of easy times, when these things seemed possible, and now weve had covid, weve got ukraine, everything looks a lot more difficult. weve just got to get serious about this now. is borisjohnson governing as a conservative? so...yes, i would say, up to a point. ithink, you ...

We thought something more open, capable of evolving, was better. but unfortunately, that wasnt on offer. i think now weve got to try and move on from some of the bitterness of the last couple of years. i hope we can, and perhaps the ukraine thing reminds us of everything that we have in common. but i think we can only move on some things if the eu moves on other things. and i can imagine that we could look again at some of the foreign policy issues and maybe other things, if we could find a bett...

Yes, it is chris here on my lonesome today with newscast. not only is the pandemic not really in the news much now, but all of the things we have been keeping an eye out for the last two years, or a lot of them, im not actually the symptoms anymore, which is usually significant in terms of people asking themselves the question, have i got over? we had a fantastic vaccination programme. the rules of dealing with omicron, even his current wave we are seeing at the moment, the type of omicron, and ...

Lets talk about the huge issue of our time, ukraine and russia, and how the west responds. you said — im going back to your speech the other night in switzerland — if youre spending all your time worrying about climate change, you might have fewer resources left to deal with russia. is it an either/or? its not entirely an either/or but the reality is that governments prioritise some things over others. and i think my concern is that, over the last decade, maybe longer — this is not a party...

Will temper the field for the east coast. so a breezy day but plenty of sunshine still, and temperatures will not up to 14 or 15 degrees. but we could see 18, potentially, in the north—west highlands. now, the high pressure bringing the settled weather will continue throughout the weekend, but coming in from the east, that breeze, as i say, will make things feel a little on the telly site and actually may bring a slight chance of showers into eastern areas. but i think more widely a bit of fro...
